Die Krupps Die Krupps Ii[The Final Option]

1.Worst Case Scenario

what is happening to me
no one could foresee
i was living on the edge
of catastrophe
thrown off the system
nailed and bare
fish out of water
jumping for air
stranded with no help
outlawed and shunned
luck turned against me
thousand to one
some call it fate
what's my reality
world allied against me
fatal conspiracy

i can't take it, i can't take it
i can't take it no more
worst case scenario

in the elevator to heaven i'm stuck
on the lowest level run out of luck
a downward spiral
is sucking me in
my plans for the future
a case for the bin
no glimmering hope
brightens my night
at the end of the tunnel
there is no light

some call it fate
what's my reality
world allied against me
fatal conspiracy


2.To the Hilt

woke up - still in a dream
nothing's the same
con't pronounce my name
i open my mouth
words come out
that make no sense
for a stranger's ear
in a foreign language
in a foreign land
now i'm a alien
on a different planet
it makes it clear - i understand
we are all strangers - in a foreign land

burn the bridges
forge ahead
to the hilt

back home i feel insane
nothing's the same
except for my name
i open my mouth
words come out
that makes no sense
for my lover's ear
in my native language
in my native land
i'm still the alien
on a different planet
it make it clear - i understand
i am a stranger - in my own land

burn the bridges
forge ahead
to the hilt


3.New Temptation

from me to you
from you to me
speaking flows
and thinking seems free
from me to you
from class to class
speaking ways differ
and chances pass
different speech
makes different minds
words do express
words do possess
the power of temptation
supporting success

there is new creation in mind
there is new temptation in mind

words can distort
words can deceive
brought to perfection
they change belief
words can control
first thoughts then soul
help to prepare
for the final goal
a nation did rise
a nation did fall
a leader created
new ideals for all
there was a word
there was an idea
there was a belief
that thinking is free


4.Iron Man

go shed the old skin -
for the new skin
transgression
let the old flesh-
rotten to trash
resscurection
seize the old laws
riddled by flaws
perfection
open your mind
don't stay behind
progression
weakness - these days are over
old flesh - replaced by shiny armour
new thoughts - the mind expanding
real tasks - that are demanding

this body is invisible
perfection is the principle

feel the clockwork
of the new heart
precision
feed the engine
of your bloodstream
recondition
move your muscles
like a machine
direction
give your life
a new dimension
extension


5.Shellshocked

like a hermit-unfounded
solitary but proud
i was hiding-behind fences
shutting myself out

crossed my arm-disarmed
loss of self-defence
wouldn't fight off-haunting memories
crimes without a sense

closed my eyes-blind folded
images of hell
caught inside a vicious circle
retired in my shell

shut my mouth-lips sealed
there's no need to tell
wouldn't share with you the secret
that could break the shell

shellshocked-no escape from dreaming
shellshocked-there's no escape from dreaming


6.Paradise Of Sin

in-a-gadda-da-vida baby
god is dead he lost the battle
the devil rules over life and death
feel his power, feel his wrath

hell - this is the paradise of sin
fail - and you will suffer in pain
nail - that son of desaster
sell - your soul to the master

in the garden of evil, baby
the bilbe's title is helter skelter
take a ride on this rollercoaster
live for sin and die faster

wake - your evil twin
live - your wildest dream
let - the demons in
let - the madness begin


7.Crossfire

gunshots fill the air - salute our bliss
night bursts into flames - greets the final kiss
death comes without a sound - rings the wedding bell
target hits the ground - honeymoon in hell

shot - shot by both sides
in a war that won't cease
they give their lives
unheard cry for peace

cities under siege - where the snipers strike
lovers out of reach - yearning out in the night
take your lovers hand - meet your destiny
down in noone's land - for eternity

...
CROSSFIRE! CROSSFIRE!


8.Bloodsuckers

bloodsuckers
you suck out the oil
for the salt of the earth
you ravage the soil

strip mining mountains
you gauge out the face
you suffocate life
in an asphalt membrane

don't eat your own heart
'cause you can never win

bloodsuckers
you steel from the earth
you'll kill for the riches
and decide what it's worth

bloodsuckers
got your values out of whack
you've been selling your soul
for a greenback stack


9.Language Of Reality

do you know the ABC
survival guide in real life
put it down in your dictionary

anger, boredom, conformity,
danger, exhaustion, fake,
greed, hunger, injury,
killings, lootings, mad

this isn't poetry
this is the language of reality

did you learn your ABC
survival guide in real life
gotta learn your vocabulary

nothing, obscene, pain,
queers, rampage, shame,
terror, useless, vanity,
wounded, x-rated, why？


10.Fatherland

i see houses burning
i'm ashamed
before you close your eyes denyingly
you better ask yourself

did i choose something i could regret
did i do something
i sould regret

is this the place i used to call -
fatherland
is this the place i used to know -
as fatherland

the silence is illusion
stay awake
i hear children crying in fear and pain
do cowards ask themselves？


11.Inside Out

what happened to my life
what happened to my pride
i'm a victim of your love
i can't cope with this world no longer

you have my fate in your hands

i'm on the verge of self destruction
i don't see a way out
if this was your intention
to turn me inside out

what's the reason of my life
there's no pleasure in my heart
now i'm disillusioned
and i had so much more in mind
